AsociaÃÂia Fotbal Club Progresul Fundulea, also known as Progresul Fundulea or simply Fundulea, is a Romanian football club based in Fundulea, CÃÂlÃÂraÃÂi County. The club currently plays in Liga III, the third tier of Romanian football league system, following promotion at the end of the 2022âÂÂ23 season.
Founded in 2002, Progresul Fundulea spent its entire history competing in the CÃÂlÃÂraÃÂi County championships, the fourth and fifth tiers of Romanian football.
Progresul earned promotion to Liga III at the end of the 2022âÂÂ23 season, after winning Liga IV â CÃÂlÃÂraÃÂi County and defeating LPS HD Clinceni, winners of Liga IV â Ilfov County, 4âÂÂ1 on aggregate.
In its debut season in Liga III, Progresul, under the leadership of coach Augustin CÃÂlin, finished 9th in Series III in both the regular season and the play-out round, and was relegated back to the fourth division. However, Fundulenii were spared from relegation due to the withdrawal of other teams.
CÃÂlin departed after five rounds of the 2024âÂÂ25 campaign and was succeeded by former Romanian international Costin LazÃÂr, who made significant changes to strengthen the squad, bringing in eight new players during the winter break including Bogdan ÃÂtefan, Daniel TârÃÂÃÂu, Robert StÃÂnici, ÃÂtefan Coman, Mihai Badea, Adrian Perenyi, Mihai Popescu and Mario AbÃÂluÃÂÃÂ. Under LazÃÂrâÂÂs guidance, Progresul Fundulea concluded the regular season in 4th place and secured 3rd place in the play-off round of Series III.
